Day 64

In Santorini! The ferry ride was good, I splurged on the ticket and got a cabin. First bed in 6 weeks! So worth the extra 10 euro. Yesterday I did a one day tour of Santorini. I got to see the Volcanic grounds, hot springs, a few Greek towns, and watched the sun go down at the north part of the island. Santorini is absolutely beautiful, with all the stereotypical sights of Greece. Blue roofs, donkey rides, clear waters and good greasy food!

I am moving on to the next island today. I think living in Reth for six weeks makes the islands a tad boring for me since the beach scene has been done and done again. I am looking forward to Athens where I can get some history and museums and skip the beach part. I know it sounds very strange, never thought I would be tired of a beach, but if you knew all the morning surveys and afternoons off on the beach you would all understand. I leave today at 6pm on a ferry to Ios where I stay for two nights and then move to Athens!

In the mean time I am hanging out on a friends computer til I leave in a few hours. I am not feeling so hot today, must be getting a little sick so trying to stay out of the sun and taking it easy. While in the taverna I sat beside this girl from the hostel to get the Internet password from her. We started to talk and found out we are both Canadian, from Toronto area and the crazy thing is she knows a lot of my friends from high school and will be living with one of them in September. She goes to Queens which is where half of my grade went so it's only natural she knows some of my high school buddies. Such a small world!
